Date: June 1, 2011  - Take the Pulse of Your Company

We often speak about customer service, customer satisfaction, and customer retention and that the best way to determine how you’re doing is to ask your customer.

Well if you want to know how your company is doing internally, ask your (internal) customer.  Who is that?  Your employees, your peers, your direct report, any and every one who has an impact on the customer experience.

What do we look for when we take the pulse of a company?  Here are some of the questions we ask:

·        What are the strengths of your people

·        What are their weaknesses

·        What are the commonalities among applications

·        What are the changes currently going on in your organization

             o   Hardware

             o   Software

             o   Teams

             o   Rules/Regulations

·        What is today’s stress level

·        What doesn’t get communicated powerfully

·        What feels like you’re working with one hand tied behind your back

·        What are the mixed messages that are rampant at your company

·        Why are your customers calling

·        What is a Typical Call/Call from Hell

·        What isn’t communicated effectively/efficiently

·        What’s the biggest gripe on the side of the customer

·        What’s the biggest gripe on the side of the employee

·        What gets accelerated and why

·        What works really great

·        In a perfect world what would you do differently

When you can answer these questions, you’re getting to know your company and its people.

 We love to hear from you. Please email me rosanne@human-technologies.com  your comments, feedback, questions, your own experiences, or topics you’d like to see covered in future newsletters.
